Technical Coding
After the HR screen, I was asked to pick my preferred programming language for a CodeSignal assessment and give my availability for three weeks later. Even with this advance notice, the interviewer for my live coding round didn't know Java and mentioned a background in a different engineering area. A senior-level technical interview should be a two-way chat, but this was entirely one-sided. I spent an hour explaining my architectural choices and logic to someone who just agreed with everything without any follow-up or clarifying questions. Getting rejected the next day suggested this was probably a formality interview. If a company already has a candidate in mind or is just trying to fill a quota, I'd suggest they value candidates' time more and ensure interviewers are technically qualified for the role.

The recruiting process felt impersonal and poorly communicated. Recruiters didn't clearly explain expectations for each stage. During interviews, interviewers seemed disengaged, spoke little, making conversations one-sided and hard to navigate. There was no follow-up communication, no updates, rejection notices, or feedback. It felt like candidates were interviewed in large batches without much genuine interest. Overall, the experience was cold and unprofessional. I'd be cautious about this company if you want a thoughtful, communicative hiring process.

The interview was pretty standard, actually. I got a LeetCode problem, medium difficulty, which I figured out pretty quickly. What was weird was the interviewer didn't say anything the whole time, no hints or anything, so it felt more like I was just taking a test. But I got the problem done within the time, felt good about it.
